TYPICAL
Steering
Turning the steering pivots the jet
pump nozzle which control the sport
boat direction. Turning the steering
wheel clockwise will turn the sport
boat to the right and inversely.
TYPICAL
Above idle speed, throttle must be ap-
plied to turn the sport boat.
This craft needs some throttle applied
in order to turn. Practice in a safe area
applying the throttle and turning away
from an imaginary object. This is a
good collision avoidance practice.
Turning when Using the Reverse
The sport boat behaves differently
when using the reverse. The steering
response is the opposite of forward op-
eration. So, turning the steering wheel
clockwise will turn the sport boat to the
left and inversely. Use throttle moder-
ately. Too much RPM will create water
turbulence and reduce reverse effi-
ciency. At first outing, carefully practice
this maneuver away from anything
with which you might collide.
Boarding from a Dock
As with any boat, boarding should be
done carefully and engine must not be
running.
When boarding from a dock, slowly
place one foot on the sport boat deck
nearest to the dock and then move the
other foot inside the boat. Push the
sport boat away from the dock.
